Ordered for the first time recently and it was a pleasure. This is by far the best price I found for illy capsules and they were at my door in 2 days! I'm a customer for life!

We've had a Rancilio Silvia for years. Espresso Planet continues to be our goto place for those extra little indulgences - VST ridgeless baskets, extra portafilters, equipment specific cleaning supplies. They are also great for the easily replaced parts (users need a small screwdriver and ten minutes) that keep the machine at the top of its game year after year.
Rancilio and Espresso Planet make for great coffee every day.

Description

These classic aluminum stovetop 'moka pots' make espresso the traditional Italian way. Simply add water and ground coffee and a light pressure will create a rich, flavourful espresso, tasting similar to espresso from an electric machine, though without the crema on top.

The 12 cup model will make twelve demi-tasse, approximately 1.5oz each.

METHOD:

Add Water

Fill the lower chamber with cold water just below the valve.

Add Coffee

Insert the funnel and fill it with ground espresso (do
not tamp). Remove any coffee grounds on the edge of the funnel

Tightly screw the upper part of the pot on to the base. Avoid using the handle for leverage.

Add Heat

Select burner size to fit bottom of pot. For gas
stovetop, make sure the flame is not larger than bottom of pot. The
flame should not come around the sides of the pot.

Place pot on the stovetop until the water boils and
coffee begins to come out of the center post. There will be a gurgling
sound during this process.

Enjoy!

When the top of the pot is full of coffee, remove from stove.

Before pouring coffee, stir it in the upper chamber with
a small spoon to equalize all the different coffee layers for optimum
flavor.
